#SDXC CARD EXFAT FORMAT TOOL PC#

It seems the usb route gives faster performance (throughput) but would be extra weight to carry (and worry about) in my computer bag. I have a dedicated brand new usb3 1TB external hdd, cigarette-pack size.

I still have not decided which way to go: SD or USB external. We don't actually know at this point if vhelp is only using SD cards to provide auxiliary storage for his tablet/laptop and doesn't need to use them to transfer files to or from legacy devices. I assumed since the OP was asking about exFAT he has the ability to look forward and not worry about supporting legacy devices.

But I ingest into my PC via the microUSB on my phone versus constantly taking the card out. If your not sure, why not run some tests and find out for yourself? Only takes a few seconds to format an SD card.ДЇWIW, I have a 64 GB microSDXC card in my phone formatted as exFAT with default 4096 kb AUS and capture FHD video on my phone without hiccups. But either way, I don't think you would even be able to tell the difference. Just go with the default or pick the largest.

Don't know what you are using your SD cards for, but when capturing video, the files are gargantuan compared to the AUS. Although there is a small tradeoff for very small AUS due to MFT complexity when using hdd, doubtful it even matters for solid state. AUS only really matters for when files grow and shrink, like an MSOffice file for example, to avoid fragmenting. NTFS is optimized for hard drives and journaling, encryption, and other high overhead stuff like that. FAT32 is old as the hills and sucks cuz of the 4 GB file size limit which is why cams that use FAT32 have to break up video files into multiple files (who wants to deal with that headache in this modern era?). I can't think of a reason why you would want to format your SD cards as anything other than that. ExFAT is the default file structure for SDHC cards and mandatory for SDXC.
